PAGEANTS aren't exactly known the be inclusive of different body shapes, but perhaps the most famous one in the world has included the first ever plus-size contestant.<\/p>\n

Jane Dipika Garrett, 22, represented Nepal in the Miss Universe pageant, which took place in El Salvador earlier this month.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The beauty queen placed in the top 20 out of 90 other women from across the globe, defying trolls who say she shouldn't be celebrated because of her size.<\/p>\n

Despite the haters, Jane has also been cheered on by many and wasn't aware of the onslaught of trolls until after the competition. <\/p>\n

She told\u00a0Fox News: "They don't even know my story. They don't even know what I'm going through."<\/p>\n

"I got the loudest applause from the whole entire audience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"And that felt so good because it was like a breakthrough moment for me and for society that they see something different, that they see real size beauty," Jane added.<\/p>\n

Most of the cruel comments were left on Jane's Instagram, where she boats over 298,000 followers.<\/p>\n

Some called her a "whale" or said her body was "disgusting", meanwhile, others insisted she was "promoting obesity."<\/p>\n

Jane revealed her weight has fluctuational over the years due to polycystic ovary syndrome.<\/p>\n

The condition can cause weight gain as well as acne, irregular periods, and excess hair and affects one in three women in the UK.<\/p>\n

Jane said her self confidence nose-dived after her diagnosis, but she's since been learning to have a more "positive mindset" about it all.<\/p>\n

The beauty contestant said she use to starve herself in a bid to look more like other models when she was younger.<\/p>\n

Her mental health also plummeted as a teen as a result of comparing herself to thinner girls at school.<\/p>\n

Now, Jane relies on meditation, positive affirmations and a balanced diet to keep the side effects of her PCOS to a minimum as well as keep her mental health in check.<\/p>\n

As far as she's concerned mean comments and criticism from trolls are "their problem."<\/p>\n

Jane thanked her supporters after she finished as a semifinalist: "The screams! I\u2019m so so so happy that I got so much support from millions of people! Thank you for the support.<\/p>\n

"Top 20 baby! Such an honor to reach a placement and represent millions of women around the world and my beautiful country Nepal," she wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n
